Don’t wash your hair every day

Washing your hair too often can dry it out. In general, washing your hair twice a week is ideal.If you have long, thick or curly hair, the longer it can go between washes, the better. If your hair gets oily very easy and you must wash it every day, try to use a lightweight shampoo.

Always use conditioner

After every shampooing don’t forget to use conditioner. Conditioner makes your hair softer, easiest to brush after a shower and provide it moisture. Keep in mind that conditioner must be applied only to the ends and mis-lenghts of your hair, to avoid a greasy aspect.

Use a comb

Don’t brush your hair while it’s wet because wet hair is more fragile and it’s more likely to break. If it’s possible to use a wide-tooth comb. Use it not from the roots down, but from the ends up.

Buy hair products suitable for your type of hair

No matter what type of hair do you have, you can always find hair products that match it. Choose a shampoo and a conditioner for fine, greasy, dry , curly or colored hair and use only that.

Do not towel dry hair

You can only use a quality towel to wrap around your head, after a shower.

Use hair dryer protection

Breakage and split ends are the result of frequently usage of a hair dryer. Our advice is to try to let your hair dry naturally. If you still want to use a hair dryer use protection and don’t hold it too close.

From time to time, apply a hair mask
